I'm not sure why I feel the need to post almost every day... Maybe it's just because I think my kid is so stinkin' cute, as all moms think of their children.... Anyways, daddy and Mattie got to meet Isaac on Saturday... Mattie was quite curious about that little bundle...
Mattie also got a guitar lesson from daddy this past weekend, it was so exciting!
Mattie got to play at grandma's house today..... while mommy went to the hospital to meet Auntie Lee's new baby boy, Isaac James!
Proud new mama! And only 25 hours of labor!
Such a cutie patootie... sure to break Mattie's heart in the years to come ;)
A sorta group shot... Joy stresses out trying to keep daredevil Mattie above water, while Tatum calmly plays by the side of the pool.
Check out that gut! Aubrey and Emma look on in amazement...
Mama Kristi feeds the kiddos a snack... which they all took to very nicely ;)
We arrived at the Silveri's house on Friday afternoon after a car ride of traffic and crying. We were all very happy to play in the pool to start some relaxation... Garrett was especially excited, see him in the background?
Mattie and Tatum continued in their tradition of feeding each other... doesn't this look so familiar? I think we have the same shot in a post from a couple of months ago!
The girls had to bathe after the pool... together of course! Mattie, the ever brave one, didn't really want to sit down for the bath though. Tatum is getting ready to tell her mom that her BFF is standing in the bath! Mattie is the daredevil, and Tatum is the tattletell.... always!
The whole reason for going to SD was because our great friends (Gordys and Orliczkys) rented a beach house. We finally made it there Saturday late afternoon. As you can see from the clothing, it wasn't really beach weather, so we played in the backyard instead. I just love this look Sylvie is giving Mattie, I think she is thinking "Uh oh, you just stole TWO of my balls! You better watch out sista, I am bigger than you!"
Mattie's BF Aaron brought his doggie along on the trip, she was happy to pet him w/ Aaron's daddy right by her side ;) I think Charlie was happy to be pet as well.... And lets see here, Mattie is almost 15 months now, Sylvie is just over 13 months, Tatum is almost 18 months, and Aaron is 7 months! They are all growing up so fast!
Went to the Woodbridge Lagoon on Saturday... such a blast!
The waterslide was a hit with Mattie... she wanted to go over and over again...
Playing at the frogs by Rubys after dinner w/ BFF Tatum
Sitting at the big girl table at the Alldays house where we had a fun BBQ on Sunday! Aubrey and Emma sure have a fun backyard!
Mattie battled the ground at the pool, and the ground won... hence, moms everywhere yelling to their kids "no running at the pool"... the sad thing is, it looks even worse two days later! Its all dark and scabby!
The same evening we went to an outdoor concert in Long Beach w/ the Orliczkys... good times, except the battery died in the camera after this one shot! P.S. Thomas makes excellent pesto!!!
Mattie started the day at a block party on Balsa Street w/ grandma and grandpa.... daddy took her for a spin on the neighbors cool bike...
She showed off her headband again...
We headed over to the Tatom/Silveri BBQ later that evening... Mattie and Tatum played in the backyard for a while....
Mattie even waved the flag w/out eating it! We headed over to the park to watch fireworks when it got dark and the kiddos stayed awake for the whole show! What a fabulous, fun-filled day it turned out to be!
Mattie got two super cute patriotic outfits so she had to wear one on the 3rd to Woodbridge Lake, shown above.... she really wants to jump in the lake, huh?
And here is this morning, the 4th... only she won't keep the cute headband on her head! More pics of the day will be up later.... after we attend our two BBQ's!
On this first day of July, Mattie and Mama went to storytime and the park in the morning... then we melted, so we decided to go over to grandma and grandpa's house so they would take us to the pool... Grandpa can't get Mattie out of that stroller fast enough, she is sooo eager to jump right in the pool... even though she doesn't know how to swim yet!
Mattie shows off her walking in the water skills here. She tips over far less than she did just a week ago... and even when she does go under, she doesn't seem to be too startled, just frustrated that her hair got wet :)
After bugging grandma all afternoon, we headed over to Tatum's for an afternoon playdate... where Mattie proceeded to steal the snack cup right out of Tatum's hand, but then she hand fed her the very snack she had stole! The looks here say it all...
